The man was walking through a train tunnel and was almost at the end when he heard a whistle and spotted the train approaching him. He therefore had to move forward, towards the train, so that he could exit the tunnel and jump clear.

A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go to work or to go shopping. When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. He hates walking so why does he do it?

The man is a dwarf, and can therefore only reach the elevator button for the 7th floor.
